With rapid changes occuring in the U.S. health care system, research is needed to guide and understand the effects of those changes. Priority is given to research on Federal and state policy issues. Effort is devoted to using evidence to accomplish positive changes, with special attention paid to vulnerable population groups. The Center is directed by Dr. Albert Wu, a practicing internist and expert in outcomes research and patient safety; find the director’s welcome letter below.
